He noted that there would <br />also be a seasonal concern with irrigation uses. <br />Board Member Covart asked if a public notice stating that the grants funds would be available in <br />30 days from the publication would suffice the intent of Councilmember Musgrove. She <br />referenced audit services, which would not be covered under this grant, but noted that service <br />would be available to those on private wells as well and is something the City could look at for a <br />future program. <br />Motion by Board Member Hiatt and seconded by Board Member Bernard to recommend that the <br />City Council adopt Resolution #20-018 to enter into the Clean Water Fund Grant Agreement with <br />the Metropolitan Council and to accept the $28,000 grant to implement a water efficiency rebate <br />program. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Valentine, Board Member Hiatt, Bernard, Covart, <br />Fetterley, and Moore. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />
